Here’s to wishing you a beautiful Christmas and last few days of 2015. May they be filled with mistletoe and magic.
We’ve been slowly counting down Goldin’s #12DaysOfChristmas…here are the songs, the laughter, and the story…
I do it because this is my first love and it is what the industry requires. Today’s music industry wants the artist buzzing with; immaculate portfolio, online presence, mastered songs registered with performing and mechanical rights’ societies, album distributed, bought and rated by the audience and venues, and paying to play shows and festivals with a killer marketing campaign (on a small but reasonable budget). Eat, breathe and sleep the music biz. And if you’re one, little nobody doing this – tough, zero sympathy – you better just do it, okay?!
That’s what it comes down to. Sharing. This overwhelming need to share.
To give everything I have learnt and now know, to someone. Someone who is willing to take the risk to be everything music creates. Someone who is still as curious as me about the fascination of music regardless of the setbacks. Someone unafraid of the Big Bad Wolf!
Contrary to the existing assumptions of rock and roll lifestyles, I delve into my experiences of how I have the same routine preparing for a show and how I built my fanbase from walking around with a clipboard to sign up fans, after each show. Some of you that met me performing at The Bedford in London will remember this.
